The rate of dissolution of a solid is dependent on the surface area reaction. By crushing the cube, the surface area is greatly increased, thus increasing the rate of dissolution.

∙ 14y agoA crushed up solid has a lot more surface area than a solid piece of solute. So, if more surface area is exposed, there is more area of the solute, then more can dissolve at the same time.

∙ 14y agoBy crushing the solute, you increase the total surface area of the particles. More surface area means better chances of interacting with the solvent and higher rate of dissolution.

How does an increase in surface area help a solute dissolve more quickly?
Not necessarily just changing the surface area causes the rate to change. Changing the ratio of surface area volume changes the rate at which a solute dissolves in a solvent. If the surface area is larger and the volume of a solute is smaller or the same, then the rate at which the solute dissolves in a solvent increases. If the surface area is smaller and the volume of the solute is larger or the same, then the rate at which the solute dissolves in a solvent decreases.
Why do need to stir the water continuously during heating?
by heating we increase the inter moleculer space of the solvent so the solute particles get in the increased space and by stirring also the same purpoose is served . in short it is done so as to dissolve the solute in the solventHeating will help solutes dissolve in many solvents. For example salt will dissolve in hot water better than cold water.Many chemical reactions either require energy input to initiate a reaction, or they react better at higher energy levels.Endothermic reactions require energy to proceed.Even exothermic reactions may require activation energy to initiate the reactions.Or... many reactions won't run efficiently or completely at cold temperatures.
How do you clean up silly sludge?
Rubbing alcohol may dissolve it and help you remove it.
What is the solute and solvent of fish sauce in chemistry?
Neiths true:"The Solute is the Substance dissolved into the Solvent"So soy sauce is the total: Solution
Can solubility be increased by stirring?
Solubility can be increased in solvent and by adding more solute.
How do you get a solute to dissolve more quickly?
more surface area. crushing or grinding will help it dissolve as well as heat depending on what you're working on.
Why grinding help a solution dissolve rapidly?
It increases the surface area of the solute that is exposed to the solvent.
What 3 things will help a solid to dissolve in water?
Grinding, Temperature, Mixing
How do you dissolve rock sugar in water?
Heat the water to boiling point, then put the rock sugar in
What do you do to help dissolve solid?
Depending on the solid you could melt it or bash it then melt it or cut it up. But it depends on the solid, mostly if its food you can just melt it. xxxx
A saturated solution is one of which?
it is either a: can dissolve more solute at the current conditions b:will precipitate out of all its dissolved solute c:can dissolve more solute only if heated d:can dissolve more solute only if the pressure is increased but I have no clue which it wont help much but it will a little this is a question in my exam study guide packet and those are the choices so hope it help a little
Why does heating up the solvent help dissolve the solute faster?
because the atoms expand causing it to evaporate

Does heating help dissolve?
On heating the dissolving proces goes at least faster(always), and in most cases also better: meanig mostly (not always) more solute can be dissolved AT higher temperatures.
What helps a solid dissolve faster in water?
it depends what your trying to dissolve if your trying to dissolve ice then i would use hot water if your trying to dissolve plastic then use boiling water you basically use hot warm or boiling water or acid hehehehe dont do that. USER2: Heating!

There isn't really any way to 'stop crushing' . If you are attracted to someone, you can't help it.
